It is with great sadness Idabel Public Schools announces the loss of a Warrior icon. The legendary track coach Skippy Smith passed away this morning. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Coach Smith’s family. He was a true Idabel Warrior that represented the Warrior Nation as an athlete and a coach. The winningest track coach in Oklahoma and a man that impacted countless young Idabel men and women over the years. GO WARRIORS!

Idabel Middle School will return to in-person instruction on Monday, November 16th. The student COVID related absences are still under the district 35% threshold and we have some staff returning from quarantine. We will continue to monitor the situation and update you accordingly.

It is with great regret Idabel Public Schools is forced to announce the high school football game vs. Atoka has been cancelled due to a positive COVID-19 test among the Idabel Warrior football team. Due to contact tracing and quarantine guidance from the Oklahoma State Department of Health this game will not be made up. The Warriors have already qualified for the playoffs and hope to play in the first round on Saturday, November 14th. We have contacted the OSSAA to request the Saturday playoff game to allow our athletes an opportunity to continue the season they have earned. More information will be released as it becomes available and is verified with the OSSAA and the OSDH.

ATTENTION TO ALL WHO VISIT OUR SCHOOL SITES
Last Friday, a new law went into effect which allows, in many cases, open or concealed carry of a firearm without a license. This law DID NOT change any statute as it applies to carrying a firearm on school property. Currently, only sworn peace officers are allowed to carry a firearm on school property. We ask that they have clear identification of their status as a peace officer as well. This includes all school property regardless of the function or sponsor.
The only exception allowed is a firearm may be carried inside a car (non-school owned vehicle) in the parking lot. The firearm must be out of sight at all times. If the vehicle is unattended, it must be locked.

Good luck to all of the #ipswarriors Choir students traveling to first round All-State auditions! And the band students traveling to all district auditions. #nextlevel #preparingchampions #GOWARRIORS
